http://ow.ly/uwWFb Another win for the Law Offices of Brian D. Lerner:
DHS agreed to admin close when they had previously denied our request. Client came to our office in 2005 with 3 family members after they had been picked up by border patrol and used as material witnesses a federal case against their smuggler (they never actually testified, defendant pled and they were placed in proceedings). Some of NTAs for this family were never filed with the court and Client’s NTA was filed 4 years later in 2009. Client has been in the U.S. since 2005 and her only child is 21 and born in the US. Her husband’s case was terminated for reinstatement purposes.
